Wednesday 29th July a.m.
A sunny start to the morning with a temperature of 10°C, although as the morning wore on the cloud built up and it threatened to rain. I decided on a walk to Doe Park Reservoir where on arrival there was a pair of
Grey Wagtails which was a good start. A
Grey Heron was on the other side of the Reservoir and a
Cormorant flew by, a count of ten
Sand Martins were feeding low over the water and a
Whitethroat was seen as I headed towards Denholme Clough. Others were
Willow Warbler, Blackcap, Jay, Linnet, Canadas and
BH Gull. A small bird was also seen on a low branch of a tree which I was unsure about, looking at my pictures I think its a juvenile
Redstart.
Walking back home past Hewenden Reservoir there were six
Swifts, two
Oystercatchers plus
Swallows, House Martin and a
Chiffchaff belting out its song.
